Jungle Master Page #2

You were sort of out of control.

I thought it would be easier.

I used my hunter's training.

Your what? You think I'm some

sort of prey, is that it?

You got this all wrong. He would

never think of you that way.

He's my grandson and he's

shaking in his boots.

His name is Blue.

What's your name, by the way?

My name is Rainie. Are you

sure he's your grandson?

I mean, you don't look very much alike.

So what? I'm Eco-friendly, that's all.

You see, it's just

a question of genetics.

Am I right? There was

a mutation involved?

Uh, that's what happened, of course.

But that's all ancient history.

At the moment we have

dinner on our minds.

I'm sure that many things here

you'll find quite delicious.

( Whimpering )

Plus, today is Blue's birthday.

( Sniffles ) Right.

How nice for you.

I hate birthdays.

Mm, I presume you know

the birthday song.

Uh, of course. Doesn't everyone?

Great. So we can sing it together.

( Clears throat )

Happy Birthday to Blue.

- Sing.

- Oh.

Happy Birthday to Blue.

Happy Birthday to me

Happy Birthday dear Blue

Happy Birthday to me.

- Ahh.

- ( Rainie giggles )

Now you're another year older.

It warms my heart to see

how much you've grown.

Do I hear someone's belly growling?

- Blue, are you hungry?

- Only for the last hour or so.

- Then let's eat, come on.

- Yeah.

Rainie, you too.

You can have your fill

of anything on the table.

You're too polite to eat without

permission, not like some folks.

Hey, don't complain, buddy.

Listen, messing with you is fun.

- I've noticed that. Fun time is over.

- It's just begun.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Huh?

Guess I showed you. Say what?

Think you're the best eater?

My chopsticks will

leave you in the dust.

( Both grunting )

Time! Thank you.

Those monsters... Were they dinosaurs?

Both:
What?

Now I don't know what you ran into,

but I can assure you

they weren't dinosaurs.

They may have looked

like dinosaurs to you,

- but they weren't.

- Are dinosaurs some kind of pets?

They couldn't have been, because

you're not on earth anymore.

What? Not earth anymore?

Then where are we?

Mm.

There goes the last of the dinner.

We're on the jungle planet.

Not that long ago,

I found a dimensional portal

between here and the earth.

I traveled here to study

the native species.

You can go home in three days.

- Really?

- Don't send me back.

- There's nothing there for me.

- No family?

Robot:
Attention, group picture.

Say "cheese."

- Limburger.

- Cheddar.

Swiss?

Oh, I'm in the middle of a cell test.

Go to bed as soon as

the cake is finished.

Don't forget, save me some.

And whether you like it or not, when

the portal opens in three days,

I'm sending you back to earth.

Boss:
And then this fool had the nerve

to question my judgment in regards

to the direction of the company.

Once this new strain of DNA is in place,

he won't dare open his mouth.

We'll be so successful, I'll banish him

to our branch office in Siberia.

So when can I expect

to have this DNA avail...?

How often have I told you this?

Stop disturbing me.

It won't be long. I'm nearly there.

Yes, yes. What's that?

You say you're almost finished?

I knew it! You're a genius, doctor!

Let's see. A dash of iodine

mixed with a free agent.

And now a sprinkle of sodium chloride.

That was more than a sprinkle,

but whatever.

Oh, it's reacting.

Aha!

That tastes like success. It's perfect.

I am a genius! I did it! Yes! Aha!

You did it?

We did it! We did it!

You're the greatest

scientist in history!

It's amazing. This hot sauce

- will take over the world of condiments.

- What?

You made hot sauce?

That's your experiment?

- Oh, boy, what a breakthrough.

- Hey, zip it.

Are you completely out of your mind?

You fraud.

The reason you got funded

is because you swore

you could isolate an entire

new strain of D.N.A.

Instead, you're making hot sauce?

My friend, getting

your shorts in a twist

won't help solve this puzzle.

You need the Seeds of Wisdom.

Then go open the portal. I'll

send my personal bodyguards.

They'll help you gather up these seeds.

No, no, we can't disturb

the balance of nature here.

I'll go look for the seeds

of wisdom tomorrow myself.

By the way, a girl

somehow got in the portal

and was transported here.

You'd better find out how that happened.

Send some men to the portal

terminus in three days.

That's when I'll send her back.

A girl? Oh, so she made it.

Hmm, that means we can control it.

You guys, open the dimensional

portal immediately.

Rainie, Rainie.

Where are you?

What game is this?

Why is she being so mean?

Oh.

Oh, Rainie,

it's all mama's fault.

( Phone dings )

What's going on?

No, Grandpa, I like steamed

better than fried.

It tastes better.

No, please. Just leave it alone.

Don't touch the sacred tree.

( Exclaims, panting )

- ( Rainie grunts )

- What happened to Rainie?

If not for bad luck,

I'd have no luck at all.

Rainie, what are you doing there?

( Chuckles )

I wasn't sleepy, so I came out here

to watch the moon for a while.

Shouldn't you be looking up then?

Uh...

That's the way.

Just a little bit more now.

Hold on.

You sure seem to get yourself

in a lot of trouble.

What are you talking about?

I can take care of myself.

You wouldn't have gotten

stuck if I'd been here.

I couldn't sleep.

When I woke up, the moon was so bright.

It was beautiful. So I crawled out.

Tell me, how come this

place has three moons?

Is that weird to you?

I enjoyed watching them with

grandpa when I was younger,

but, you know, we haven't done

that for a long time now.

- How long?

- Three days.

- Gee, you must have been just a kid.

- I was.

Maybe he wants to come now. I'll go see.

Hold on. Don't go. It's late.

So? I'm sure he'd come out.

Are you all right?

Are you tired? Why not go back to bed?

I'm not tired.

I'm worried. I don't want to go.

I don't want your grandpa

to send me back to earth.

You haven't got a clue. It's

"grandpa this, grandpa that."

Have you noticed I never

even talk about my mother?

- Never met my mother.

- Move it.

Why don't you want to go home?

Don't you think your mom's worried?

She's not worried.

In fact, she barely knows I'm alive.

All she really cares about

is work, work, work.

( Panting )

( Grunts )

Yesterday was my 12th birthday.

And you know what?

She completely forgot.

I'm just another chore she has

to fit into her schedule.

Most of the time she ignores me.

I don't even care anymore.

You're lucky. I envy you.

You have a grandpa who loves you.

Well, that's it.

I don't have to take this.

I'm gonna start a new life.

I'm not going someplace

where I'm not appreciated.

But grandpa is determined

to send you back.

Not if he can't find me. I'll run away.

I'll have an adventure.

Yeah, you can be my guide.

Adventure? No, no, no, no.

It's scary out there.

Not as scary for me as going back home.

I'll go alone if I have to. You coming?

Uh, okay. I'll do it.
